Terry1954 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Excellent progress here. May have to put a C-130 on my build list. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've got the base coat of paint on the Herc, I'm going for a slightly weathered look, and the mottling should be reduced with subsequent layers ... I can almost see the finish line from here! Colin 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 The painting continues on the Herc , lots of little details to be masked and sprayed. I'm starting to get excited about finishing this beast! Hope you like so far, Colin 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Looking fabulous Colin, the walkway masking looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet-mech Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 One of these machines used to drop into Newcastle airport almost weekly. Very fond memories of the RCAF c-130 and also the crews. This model is simply lovely and I'm on awe of your skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolay Polyakov Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 This basic kit turned to a masterpiece here... What a great work, Colin! 👍 Cheers! 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 Small detail painting almost complete, at last. ... a note on the prop blades - 24 blades, 2 sides, 3 colors each - the masking has taken days, and still the metalized leading edge to go! By the time this thing is done, I may be blind! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Lucky you for having to paint so many colours on the props, and nice work by the way! It is looking better every update you make. You have inspired me to start work on mine again, and looking at your pictures has made me realise I have a few more parts to make and add before putting it in the paint shop.

Tail-Dragon Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 More progress, the props are (at last) finished and assembled. Next step is the gloss coat and decals ... ... finish line is in sight! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Harrison Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 What a beast. Much braver man than me to cut a model in half 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tail-Dragon Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I'm still working on the Herc. Had a delay when my computer melted down, but it's up and running now. I've been decaling for FOUR days (Jeez this thing has a lot of stencils, etc!) Getting the walkway boarders lined up was the worst, but I'm getting there! finished product continued on ...
